[Intro]
Am F Dm F
[Verse 1]
ClAmose my eyes and drift into the siFlence
Barely see the ulDmtraviolet
Slipped and fell into the dFeep end
AmOh, the sidewalk shimmer just like Fdiamonds
All the empty words were fDmlying
Well, the heart was low, but I Fnever was alone
I never was alone
[Chorus] 
   AmI've been Crunning Dmfor so Flong
All that's Dmleft is skin and Fbones
DmClose my eyes, Ffight to carry on
   AmSometimes it Cmakes no Dmsense at Fall
If I Dmstumble, will I Ffall?
If I Dmfall, I'll tuck and Froll
FClose my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
[Verse 2]
AmOne step fades and falls into Fanother
I'm not getting any Dmfurther
Left you feeling like an Falien
AmAll the shining sidewalks, they were Flying
Lost myself while I was hDmiding
And the heart was low, but I Fnever was alone
I never was alone
[Chorus]
   AmI've been Crunning Dmfor so Flong
All that's Dmleft is skin and Fbones
DmClose my eyes, Ffight to carry on
   AmSometimes it Cmakes no Dmsense at Fall
If I Dmstumble, will I Ffall?
If I Dmfall, I'll tuck and Froll
FClose my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
[Instrumental]
Am F Dm F
[Bridge]
DmHearts are empty almost Fall the time
DmBlind devising ways to Flead the blind
And Dmit seems as if there's no Fend in sight
DmI don't wanna be there when it Fall goes down
DmBut if I gotta be there, don't let me A5hit the B5ground
Can I C5hit the D5ground?
[Chorus]
   AmI've been Crunning Dmfor so Flong
All that's Dmleft is skin and Fbones
DmClose my eyes, Ffight to carry on
   AmSometimes it Cmakes no Dmsense at Fall
If I Dmstumble, will I Ffall?
If I Dmfall, I'll tuck and Froll
FClose my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home, let the love-light guide you on

[Intro]

Am F Dm F

[Verse 1]

Am F

Close my eyes and drift into the silence

Barely see the ultraviolet

Slipped and fell into the deep end

Am F

Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds

All the empty words were flying

Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone

I never was alone

[Chorus]

Am C Dm F

I've been running for so long

Dm F

All that's left is skin and bones

Dm F

Close my eyes, fight to carry on

Am C Dm F

Sometimes it makes no sense at all

Dm F

If I stumble, will I fall?

Dm F

If I fall, I'll tuck and roll

Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home

Let the love-light guide me home

[Verse 2]

Am F

One step fades and falls into another

I'm not getting any further

Left you feeling like an alien

Am F

All the shining sidewalks, they were lying

Lost myself while I was hiding

And the heart was low, but I never was alone

I never was alone

[Chorus]

Am C Dm F

I've been running for so long

Dm F

All that's left is skin and bones

Dm F

Close my eyes, fight to carry on

Am C Dm F

Sometimes it makes no sense at all

Dm F

If I stumble, will I fall?

Dm F

If I fall, I'll tuck and roll

Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home

Let the love-light guide me home

[Instrumental]

Am F Dm F

[Bridge]

Dm F

Hearts are empty almost all the time

Dm F

Blind devising ways to lead the blind

Dm F

And it seems as if there's no end in sight

Dm F

I don't wanna be there when it all goes down

Dm A5 B5

But if I gotta be there, don't let me hit the ground

C5 D5

Can I hit the ground?

[Chorus]

Am C Dm F

I've been running for so long

Dm F

All that's left is skin and bones

Dm F

Close my eyes, fight to carry on

Am C Dm F

Sometimes it makes no sense at all

Dm F

If I stumble, will I fall?

Dm F

If I fall, I'll tuck and roll

Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home

Let the love-light guide me home, let the love-light guide you on
